Sour Cream Coffee Cake
This classic coffee cake looks impressive, and it’s easy to throw together using ingredients you have in the pantry.
Ingredients
- Cake
- ¾ cup (175 mL) butter, softened (1½ sticks)
- 1½ cups (375 mL) sugar
- 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
- 2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup (175 mL) sour cream
- 1¼ cups (300 mL) milk
- 3¾ cups (925 mL) flour
- Filling & Topping
- 1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (250 mL) brown sugar
- ½ tsp (2 mL) salt
- ¼ cup (60 mL) cinnamon
- ¼ cup (60 mL) butter, melted (½ stick)
- ½ cup (125 mL) flour
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and adjust the oven rack to accommodate the Tube Cake Pan, if needed.
- Add the butter and sugar to the Deluxe Stand Mixer. Select CREAM for 2 minutes and 50 seconds.
- Add the remaining cake ingredients and MIX for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Pour half of the batter into the ungreased Tube Cake Pan.
- For the filling, combine both of the sugars, salt, and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1½ cups (375 mL) of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cake batter, then cover with the remaining batter. Use the release tool to swirl the batter and filling together.
- Add the melted butter and flour to the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over the cake and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for at least 20 minutes before removing from the pan with the release tool.
